Humans aren’t better at driving in bad situations, they’re just better at ignoring most of the input and focusing on one thing, and more importantly, taking risks, which a computer isn’t going to be programmed to do. If a human navigates through a bad rainstorm, barely able to see anything, and makes it out fine, then they claim they’re better than a self-driving car which would shut down. Or more simply, a route that is very tight and risky, but a human will YOLO and make it through. They’re not better, they’re just lucky a lot.
Yes, if you read them. If you consider doing a Hail Mary in bad weather and managing to not hit anything better, then I guess they are better… at taking risks.
I just imagine the dumbest thing someone can do in a situation and model for that.
Icy roads? Well, the logical thing to do is make sudden moves at the last possible second without leaving a buffer. Stand on the throttle at every intersection, and start braking when you normally would in the middle of summer, of course.
Honestly, you learn to predict unpredictability. Slight movements will tell you when someone is going to change lanes without a shoulder check or cross three lanes of traffic to make an exit that they could just have easily gone on to the next interchange without endangering themselves and others. Hell, I watch peoples eyes in their side mirrors look at me as they incorrectly judge how much space they have to insert themselves in front of me, when there’s a kilometer of space behind me they could use instead.

Humans are better in bad situations because humans drive like humans, and they expect all the other cars on the road to also drive like a human.
The worst thing on the road is to be unpredictable, and an AI encountering a situation not in its training set is unpredictably unpredictable.
You’re correct on AI. But I laughed at you saying humans are predictable. Seen any dashcam footage?
